When planning a destination wedding, sending out Save the Dates is the perfect way to ensure that your guests are aware of the details of your special day and can make travel arrangements in advance. But when should you send out these Save the Dates?
It’s generally advised to send your Save the Dates out 6 to 8 months before your wedding. This gives you plenty of time to get all of the details finalized and communicated to your guests.
It also gives everyone enough time to make their travel plans, find hotel accommodations, and take any necessary vacation days from work.
When creating your Save the Dates it’s important that you include all relevant information – such as the date and location of your wedding, a brief description of what kind of wedding it will be (formal or casual), and any other guidelines or expectations (such as attire). You may also want to provide hotel recommendations for those who are planning to stay overnight.
You should also include additional details about other activities that may be planned during this time. For example, if you’re having a welcome dinner or other events over the course of several days leading up to your wedding day then let people know about this in advance so they can make plans accordingly.
In addition, if any other special requests are necessary for attending (such as a passport or visa) then be sure to let people know right away. This way they can take care of any paperwork in advance so there won’t be any surprises at the last minute.
By giving ample notice in advance with a Save The Date card, you’ll give everyone plenty of time to plan accordingly and ensure that they are able to join you on this special occasion.
Conclusion: When sending out Save The Date cards for a destination wedding it’s important that you give everyone plenty of notice – 6 to 8 months in advance is recommended – so they can make travel arrangements and have time for any necessary paperwork. Be sure that all relevant information is included on these cards such as date and location, event type, attire guidelines, hotel recommendations, and any other special requests.
